A self-avowed motorbike fan, Fernando Alonso has decided to pay homage to Moto2 rider and fellow Spaniard Luis Salom, who passed away last weekend after a crash in practice for the Catalan Grand Prix. The double F1 world champion's helmet thus adorns Salom's initials and #39 race number, with several other F1 drivers doing likewise.
